In the run up to the 2016 Paralympics in Rio there is a tremendous buzz about para triathlon being included for the first time. Inspire Peterborough are very excited to announce that yet again they will be holding a Para Go Tri event as part of their day! Utilising the swimming sessions, handcycles provided by Vivacity and athletics run by Nene Valley Harriers, participants can sign up to have a go at the three aspects of a para triathlon with the hope to inspire the people of Peterborough to get behind para triathlon in Rio and to try it for themselves.
